Web Site Creation

So you're ready to begin creating a Home Page?

Do you have an idea about the theme of your site? Do you have some unique knowledge that no one else on Earth has? ...a unique family history, special talents, creative writing, some insights about your family's ancestors and heritage, original photography, etc.?

Web Workers Have you been checking out how others have planned out their sites? Have you checked out some web sites created by current and former TCHS students?

How about getting organized. Do you have a Story Board of your site?

After your preliminary plan, the best way to learn how to create web pages is to dive right in--just like you learned to swim, ride a bike, drive a car, etc.
